Every picture of this little guy makes me fall for him again and again! This a picture of him in occasion of the State Visit of the Royal Family of Sweden, today... (sorry if it has been posted before, it's just too cute to miss it!)

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by too much hair and falling and not beautiful. Are you claiming that Lillepigen had too much hair and have lost some of it since she was born???

As to the reason why the pictures were published now and not on the day they left the hospital or immediately after, I think it can only be guesswork on anyone's part.

She is such a beautiful girl. My favorite picture is the one of her with her eyes open, she looks older than a two-week-old. Big brother looks absolutely thrilled with her.

As for royal children becoming too "common".....would you prefer that we never see photos of them ever until they're 18 or something? Come on now.

I agree completely, Sister Morphine. His photo all messy eating his 1st birthday cake was simply adorable. Helloooo! He was turning 1 year old! He's human... and we're not in the 16th century... royals are not supposed to be supernatural or divine beings or anything anymore...enough said!

Is anyone else out there like me and thinks the pictures - while very beautiful - are a bit of an anticlimax?..because I am constantly waiting for new photos, new images of what Mary in particular is wearing...like after the birth, I was wondering what is she going to be wearing leaving the hospital, then what will she be wearing in official photos and then what about the state visit of the Swedes...now I have seen all those images, what's next?

A balcony moment for their wedding anniversary or Prince Frederik's birthday? Then what will she be wearing at the lillepige's christening? Or am I the only picture vulture on the boards?

if I may interject on the Adelaide comment about the hair. It is very normal for babies that are born with hair to lose some of their hair soon after birth. This happened to me so my mom has told me. And it happens all the time to many babies. I don't think Adelaide meant anything by her remark but I suppose sometimes when a baby is born with a lot of hair and then a small bald spot comes from laying down so much that is likely not to beautiful.

I think these pics of the new princess are perfect "Danish" pictures. Glad we finally get to see her. And by that I mean really see her...not all bundled up and clinging to her mother.

Thanks for the explanation Aurora810
I have never experienced hair loss with any of my own three babies or heard about it for any of my numerous nephews and nieces so I just didn't get the meaning of that.

Sure! My mom said it was very frightening when she went to pick me up one time and noticed a little hair had fallen out on the blanket. I think it occurs because the babies lay down so much. I think it is also more common for babies that have lots of hair at birth.

[Vanesa]

Yes...and the most amazing of this story is that this hair is not true hair..I don't know how its name is in English, but in Spanish it is rather called "pelusa". I was born with some amount of it, for the desperation of my mother, since I looked extremely ugly. And it changes of colour! At least, sometimes...This "pelusa" on me was black, and when it fell down, it was replaced by blonde hair!

Thanks Aurora and Vanesa
I didn't know that babies' first hair had a special name.
My own three daughters were born with lost of hair, one of them in particular, and they kept it all through.

Even if 'Lillepigen' should have lost some of hair, I don't think that this would have prevented the pictures from being taken though (to get back to Adelaide's post). It must just have been the right time for the family to have the pictures taken - and I certainly won't complain about the result.

[crisscross1]

I don't understand why there has to be any reason for Frederik and Mary not having the babies photos taken. Mary came out of hospital the day after the little one was born and probably just wanted to rest. After a couple of weeks it was decided that they would like some photo's taken and the beautiful pictures of their perfectly healthy family were released to the public. We just had to be patient.

[missjane]

I agree with you crisscross1. I can imagine photos were not top of the priority list! but were they not worth the wait. Gorgeous!!

[foiegrass]

I love the princess <3 she's so cute!

I hear you! And I'm glad that we can see pics of the family, I was worth waiting, lol

[biboquinhas]

Prince Christian was also very tinny when he was born and pcitures have been release the same day, so I just don't understand!

[Empress]

Well, Christian is the heir to the throne after his father. The Danish people had been waiting a very long time for him to come, so I can imagine there would have been a revolt had they not come out with some photos very quickly!

[qui mal y pense]

If you've ever seena newborn, they aren't really that much to look at. after a few weeks they look so different and start to develop their features. I'm glad they didn't do a photo shoot earlier, we wouldn't have seen these gorgeous images.

I think that despite Christian is the heir to the throne the both should have the same treatment regarding normal and day to day things!

[Vanesa]

Nice pics! But I have a little question for you all: Which is exactly the mean of "Lille Princesse"...? Little Princes? I don't think this is a very serious title. It's not usual in other countries anyhow...And which is the mean of Lillepigen? I'm confussed!
